DXPedition July 29-31, 2015

I spent a few days with my fellow Dx-er Georgi (LZ2GPB) in the remote village of Patreshko, located in a mountainous region in Central Bulgaria. We did not have any low-band antennas ready yet but we hang up a single Inverted V dipole antenna for every broadcast band between 31 and 13 meters. We did record a few videos and you may find them below. More to come in our forthcoming DXPedition at the end of August when we will take advantage of full range of antennas, covering longwave up to 30MHz.
